Pinch Me, I Think I'm Dreaming

Yesterday I was told that my publisher, Lyrical Press, is
now a division of Kensington Publishing. To say I was (am) shocked is putting
it mildly. I always figured I’d need an agent to be part of Kensington.
Did I luck out or what?

And the e-book of "My Sunny Vampire" releases on Monday!

Man! 2014 is already looking great. I can almost forget about
the snow and cold weather.

Almost!

We got about 3-4 inches and then the winds came and blew it
all around (I hate it when it does that). Temps fell into the single digits through
the night. And I hear we’re to get more snow on Sunday and even colder weather
on Monday. I guess Old Man Winter is sticking around for a bit now. Brrr!

Have you been watching any of the Bowl Games? I only watched the Rose Bowl on New Year's, but had more fun watching hockey played in snow in the Winter Classic. But tonight Ohio State plays against Clemson in the Orange
Bowl, so I'll definitely be watching that. Go Buckeyes!

I hope it turns out good for you--though I'd wait and see before celebrating.

You're under their umbrella, true, but about the only "perk" you'll see in future Lyrical contracts is that it'll probably look more like a Kensington contract. That means it'll be tighter with terms and less amenable to changes.

Carina is a part of Harlequin. I think I would've had a fairer contract had they been an independent publisher.

Thanks, B.E.! Yeah, it's cold here. Could be worse. We could live in Maine. Which is funny, considering my husband told me how much he liked that state and wouldn't mind living there. And it is pretty. But I told him if we EVER moved (and we won't, we know this), we'd move SOUTH. Preferrably closer to the beach. I miss the beach.

About Me

After years of wondering if I would ever have a passion in life (besides loving my husband), I finally found it. Writing!
Maybe I should have realized it back in High School when I loved all my English classes. So what do I major in College? Accounting. Go figure. Well, I've shucked the accounting job and now I'm published through Lyrical Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing. Couldn't be happier.
